All in Love

Twenty-Five Years Later

They say time heals the pain. I say it only masks the pain and allows you to master of carrying that pain with grace. Twenty-five years after my father’s death, the intensity of the emotions and grief felt on that day bubble up. And all I can do is acknowledge them and reflect upon them.

A Christmas Tree of Stories

 For us, our Christmas tree is a collection of stories; the ornaments are pockets of memories and representations of special moments from our adventures and experiences. Because of our wandering ways, the landscape of stories that is our tree keeps changing every year. And we would not have it any other way. 

Love in Photographs

We decided to have a fun photoshoot in Vienna to remember our incredible trip by.  Because we are not the selfie types, we usually have very few photos of us together during our travels. After this year's health challenges and recently celebrating 10 years of marriage, this trip is a gift and a blessing, so we enlisted a professional to capture us enjoying what we love -- each other and traveling together!

 Here are 6 (out of 60!)of our favorite shots taken by Natascha with Flytographer.

A Letter to My Husband on Our Ten-Year Wedding Anniversary

Ten years ago today, in a little church in Ferndale, Washington, surrounded by family and friends, we took our vows to cherish and love one another for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. We didn't write our own vows. We were both 22 years old, and all that mattered to us was that we were committing ourselves to one another.

Celebrating 9 Years with 9 Courses

Looking for a memorable way to celebrate our 9-year wedding anniversary, we decided to indulge and gift ourselves with The Herbfarm's 9-course pre fixe experience. Highlighting the flavors brought about by summer in the Pacific Northwest, The Herbfarm took us on a farm-to-table culinary journey.
